The "SPIEL 98" Report - News at Ravensburger


Ravensburger already has realeased quite a lot of games already in spring of 1998, so itīs no wonder that only one new game has made it to Essen this fall. The game actually is a variant of the older game "Labyrinth der Meister" and itīs called "Labyrinth der Ringe". Players now enter a round labyrinth, and here they have to search for Trolls and Treasures in the dark tunnels. The gameboard is devided into tree rings (inner, middle and outer), so that it will change constantly during the game.
